Here’s the second-generation prototype of a soprano sax / trumpet mouthpiece hybrid. This was printed on a Makerbot Replicator 2X. I modeled the soprano sax mouthpiece base and appended the geometry of a Bach 1-1/2C trumpet mouthpiece found on Thingiverse. The trumpet cup is a bit roomier than the previous prototype; I think I’ll try a trombone-sized cup next. Here’s the STL file so you can download, modify and print your own.

Whenever I try this mouthpiece on my horn my son yells at me to “Stop that horrible noise!” So it must be working…

This is my first working prototype for a series of experimental soprano sax mouthpieces. This model marries a trumpet or french horn-style cup with a sax mouthpiece neck. Thanks to Jamey Grimes for last-minute 3D modeling kung-fu.
